Tratalias

Tratalias is a Sardinian village of 1,024 inhabitants in the province of Carbonia-Iglesias, which is 30km away. It is located in the Sulcis region, on a hill in front of the Gulf of Palmas. Every year, on the patronal feast day dedicated to the Virgin of Monserrato, the statue of the Madonna, normally kept in the Romanesque church of the same name, is transported on a tractor «dressed up for the occasion», holding blankets, sheets and precious carpets.
